In Book XVI of The City of God, St Augustine endeavours to deal with
some of the objections raised against the Biblical account of man's
origin. For example, apparently some questioned whether animals could
have spread from Noah's ark onto remote islands.
"There is a question raised about all those kinds of beasts which are
not domesticated, nor are produced like frogs from the earth, but are
propagated by male and female parents, such as wolves and animals of
that kind; and it is asked how they could be found in the islands after
the deluge."
His solution is that either they were taken there by humans or they were
produced out of the earth "as at their first creation". Mike will be
happy to know that it is all an analogy:
"This makes it more evident that all kinds of animals were preserved in
the ark, not so much for the sake of renewing the stock, as of
prefiguring the various nations which were to be saved in the church."
The trouble is, of course, that Augustine is relying on "science" for
many of his more ridiculous statements and arguments, rather like modern
Christians who implicitly believe whatever nonsense the scientists
assert but doubt and cavil over what God says.
In chapter 9 he turns to the question of the Antipodes (which is to say,
"opposed feet"!)
"But as to the fable that there are Antipodes, that is to say, men on
the opposite side of the earth, where the sun rises when it sets to us,
men who walk with their feet opposite ours, that is on no ground
credible. And, indeed, it is not affirmed that this has been learned by
historical knowledge, but by scientific conjecture, on the ground that
the earth is suspended within the concavity of the sky, and that it has
as much room on the one side of it as on the other: hence they say that
the part which is beneath must also be inhabited. But they do not remark
that, although it be supposed or scientifically demonstrated that the
world is of a round and spherical form, yet it does not follow that the
other side of the earth is bare of water; nor even, though it be bare,
does it immediately follow that it is peopled."
So there we have it: I'm nothing but a fable.
Shucks.

Just take your shoes off first, Kendall!
On a serious note, I must congratulate you on your determination to read
the City of God, I did try many years ago, but gave up! Enjoy it! But
please don't start assuming it's all Catholic Doctrine!
Btw, Deut 33:17, Job 28:24, Pro 17:24, Isa 40:28 / 41:9 /45:22 Acts
14:37 (and others), all clearly demonstrate that the world is not
spherical but has ends.
So Kendall, which way does the Bible tell us to get to Australia?

Catholic doctrine back in his day. (That's not to say that every
argument he adduces is or was Catholic doctrine, just the conclusions he
defends.)
Martin Luther had a lot of time for Augustine, mainly because he was so
different to the Catholicism of the 1500s. Despite the boast that "Rome
never changes", Rome has changed a lot over the years and only rarely
for the better.

people continue to speak of "the ends of the earth", simply meaning the
remotest part from where the speaker is located. Neither modern people
who use the phrase nor Bible writers were denying the spherical shape of
the earth.

entry:
"Many Protestants, especially Calvinists and Lutherans, consider him one
of the theological fathers of the Protestant Reformation due to his
teachings on salvation and divine grace.[34][35][36] Protestant
Reformers generally, and Martin Luther in particular, held Augustine in
pre-eminence among early Church Fathers. Luther was, from 1505 to 1521,
a member of the Order of the Augustinian Eremites. "

those documents - but they are a great step forwards (especially in
Ecumenism.)

I doubt you have read any of the proceedings of the General Conference
of Baptists. What goes on in a church not my own is, strictly speaking,
irrelevant to me.

I am not aware of it. More to the point is that whatever mistaken ideas
Biblical authors may have had about the shape of the earth, they have
not been explicitly stated in inspired Scripture - unlike, for example,
the apocryphal Book of Enoch, which goes into great detail about what
you will find at the edges of the earth! (Gates through which the winds
blow.)

word translated as "corners" can also mean "quarters" - and angels can

part concerns us all. No part is without sin, no part is without
ignorance, the question is are we promoting the Kingdom in love?
And is it growing as we were told to spread the Good News?
Sadly there are many parts that are shrinking - and for that we are all
responsible.

Of course the figures may be different for any particular country. In
the UK white membership has decreased almost to the point of extinction
(at least in England), but there is healthy growth among immigrant
communities.

*why* they are not returning? We praise God for the new people, but I
would have thought it a part of pastoral care to at least try to contact
the old members.
> The Church is being shaken. By Church, I mean all denominations.
"Time of Shaking" when many we had believed to be pillars of the church,
including leaders, would be shaken out. Of course the SDAs applied that
to themselves, but I see no reason why it should not be a general
Christian phenomenon.
We saw it in the time of Noah, when members of his family died shortly
before the Flood and, quite probably, others ceased to support him. His
father died 8 years before the Flood, Methuselah in the year of the
Flood (or was it the other way round). There are difficult times ahead
for God's people and those whose faith is formal will be shaken out,
those whose age means that the difficult times would be too much to bear
will be allowed to rest.
So if you're still alive, it is time to be worried - and to make sure
that your faith in God is rock solid.
